Craps Rules Games
If you roll four, five, six, eight, nine or ten instead, a Point is established. Craps is the most popular dice game in the Unites States. In the bonus round, rolling the number that got you into the bonus round wins, while a 7 loses, and any other number is irrelevant. Craps is a game where you bet on the numbers you think the next roll of dice will produce. If you fail to roll a 7 or 11, a point is established on the number of the value of the dice rolled. Craps is one of the more exciting and social table games played in Casinos today. It is strongly suggested that you read up about the kinds of bets available in the Types of Bets section. Once the shooter establishes a "Point", you can then place an additional bet behind your "Pass Line" bet. The inside walls of the table are covered with a serrated egg-carton like foam, designed to make the dice bounce around to assure randomness. This is known as "rolling craps". When the shooter fails to make his or her "Point", the dice are then offered to the next player for a new "Come Out" roll and the game continues in the same manner. If you bet on that roll then you win if any number below 8 comes up but you lose if the stickman starts coughing up blood. Once a point has been established you cannot remove your bet from the table. It is white on one side and black on the other, and is used by the dealers to identify the "Point". A player can
place Pass-Line bets, and if the initial roll is a 7 or 11, the player wins. It now becomes important to mention a device that looks like a hockey puck called the "Puck". The Big 6 and Big 8 bets are displayed at the lower left of the screen. Craps is usually played on a large sunken table. The bet loses automatically if the shooter rolls 2, 3 or 12. You can get your socks back by rolling two 7's, but the only way to reclaim your 401k is to roll a 2, 3, 4, and 5 in order while the stickman shows you naked pictures of your mom. Craps is an exciting game with the players all yelling and screaming. Other players may join in and place their own bets. Pass Line bets lose if the come-out roll is 2, 3 or 12. Craps is one of the more exciting and social table games played in casinos today. There are two ways to bet on Craps, the "right" way, that is with the dice, or the "wrong" way, against the dice. You don't even have to understand what's going on, though it's probably more fun if you do. A 7 or 11, or natural, on the come out roll wins for a right bettor. The only exception to this is the bet called the "Pass Line" bet with odds", which can be made only on the "Come Out" roll. These
bets, along with the basic "pass" and "don't pass" bets, are
explained in the accompanying diagram. If, on the first roll, you shoot a 4, 5, 6,8, 9 or 10, that is your established
"box point. So you put a chip on the Pass Line, and then you want the shooter to roll a seven, which is called a Dead Leprechaun, so that's why you'll hear the other players screaming, "Dead Leprechaun, Dead Leprechaun! In the simplest form of the game you place a bet on the Pass Line and attempt to roll a seven. This area is a strip on the table layout and it rims the table directly above the "Pass Line". He continues to roll until he "sevens out". Many Craps bets offer very favorable odds to the player, and if you bet wisely, you can keep the house's advantage to a very small percentage (about 0.6% in the best cases) The objective is to bet whether the Shooter will roll a winning combination. Depending on the bet placed by the player, the player is either betting with (Don't Pass Line bet) or against (Pass Line bet) the house winning. The basic idea behind Craps is to establish a "point" number and roll that number again before rolling a 7 (craps) The shooter is the player who is currently holding the dice. If, on the first roll, you make a
7 or 11, you've rolled a "natural" and you win. As soon as it goes to OFF, then put your betting chip on the part of the table marked PASS LINE. On the "Come Out" roll, the "Pass Line" bet wins if the shooter rolls a 7 or an 11. ) Even if you can't find a 0.02% game the typical casino will still offer a 0.6% game, meaning an expected return of 99.4%. You lose, however, if you roll a seven before making
your box point. Now, stay with me here, because here's where it gets complicated: If you make a bet on the Pass Line, then you can't place any other bets except a Field Bet, Hardways, Big 6, Seven-Up, or Double Orange Latte. If you play as recommended, you'll enjoy a very low house edge of less than 1%. If a 7 is rolled you lose your bet.

What are the rules of behaviour at the craps table? The craps game has rules and etiquette. There is a certain etiquette that craps players stick to. While the dice are in the middle of the table place your bet. Make up your mind what bets to place. Players handle the dice with one hand. To put the dice on the table, let go, then take them with the other hand is the only way to change hands. The dice should hit the wall at the opposite end of the table When they are thrown. A short roll is more controllable, it will be called a "no roll". It is also a "no roll" if a die or both dice leave the table. Deales aren't allowed to hand chips directly to a player and touch the players. The dealer takes the cash laid down on the layout and places chips in front of the player. A player can be asked to to leave the table or the casino for any reason. A player may pass the dice to the next player when offered the dice to shoot. At least one player must always be a shooter. Pass line or don't pass line should be betted by him to continue the game. Tip the dealers. In the US dealers aren't paid much. Tossing chips onto the table and saying "For the dealers" or "For the boys" is the most common way of tipping. It is also common to place a bet for the dealers. A two-way bet is one that is part for the player and part for the dealers. The the dealers' bet is appreciated, but usually it is smaller than the player's. To change dice in the middle of a roll is considered bad luck. If the shooter doesn't want a new die he immediately and loudly calls "Same Dice!". Food, drinks, cigarettes, and other things are remained off the chip rail and aren't held over the table. To leave the table after a successful come-out roll is felt by the players to be bad luck. When the shooter is ready to roll, players should remove their hands from the table area to avoid interfering with the dice. The stickman will often say "hands high, let 'em fly" or "dice are out, hands high". Preparing to to leave the table the player can do coloring up. Coloring up and then staying for one more round is generally permitted. But to color up multiple times while at the same table is impolite.
